That was and is our family home. My brother Stan and his family live there now and have since mother went on her mission. Clair built his home on part of the property and two of his children have built on the bench just above the property. My grandmother and grandfather originally moved a part of that house up there from Duchesne and then it was added onto a couple of times (or more) and thus has always been in the family. When dad passed away we gave Stan and Clair all rights to the property and in turn they gave all of the inheritance from mothers estate to us when she passed away. We have always been welcomed back and enjoy going there and walking around the farm, yards and hillside. It will always be a special part of me.
I guess though part of the answer can also be as to where we each now live. Alma is in Mesa Arizona and moved there from Sandy, Utah where they had lived just after their marriage. Stan and Clair of course are still on the farm, Lynn lives in Ephraim, Ut, Leesa in Idaho Falls, Idaho after a short time in Duchesne and Moab Utah, and Marsha lives here in Mapleton but has also lived in Phoenix, AZ, Sandy, Ut and Layton, Ut. And of course we have lived here in Mapleton in three homes and one in Spanish Fork for 6 weeks.
